We present a case of a bronchogenic cyst in the retrorectal space that was successfully treated with a unique sacrococcygeal surgical approach, thus avoiding abdominal access. This report aims to enhance the literature with our technique and to help the scientific community in treating future retrorectal bronchogenic cyst cases. A 19-year-old man presented to the hospital with testicular pain refractory to over-the-counter analgesics. A cyst lesion in the presacral region was found during pelvic magnetic resonance imaging. We identified the cyst's epithelium as the respiratory type, containing ciliated pseudostratified columnar epithelium with foci of squamous metaplasia. The bronchogenic cyst is abnormal from the primitive foregut, and its location on the retrorectal site is rare. Patients with this type of lesion are usually asymptomatic, and discovery is commonly incidental during imaging exams. Excision is advised, and the prognosis is good after retroperitoneal bronchogenic cyst removal. Our description of the topic is essential to assist future similar cases.

Background: Bronchial cysts (BCs) can be difficult to diagnose because of non-specific site of occurrence and heterogeneous density of cyst content in some patients. We present herein a BC case with such nonspecific findings.

Intradural extramedullary bronchogenic cysts (IEBCs) are exceedingly rare congenital entities, composed of respiratory epithelial cells derived from the anomalous development of the embryonic foregut. Due to their exceptionally low morbidity, only limited cases are available. Consequently, the clinical features and optimal therapeutic approach remain poorly understood.

Localized cystic lung lesions in pediatric patients encompass a spectrum of benign and rare malignant conditions that are quite distinct from cystic lung disease arising in adulthood. The majority have historically fallen under the diagnostic category of "congenital pulmonary airway malformation," a term that has been used to denote a diverse group of diseases ranging in etiology from ectopia to bronchial atresia to mosaic oncogenic mutation or neoplasia. This article reviews the clinical characteristics, gross and histologic features, and pathogenetic underpinnings of congenital pulmonary airway malformation as well as lesions that enter its histologic differential diagnosis.

Introduction: Bronchogenic cysts (BCs) are congenital lesions from abnormal foregut development, usually located in the mediastinum or lungs. While often asymptomatic and benign, they can cause complications. Surgical excision is the definitive treatment.
